The Gift of Sight

CustomCut®/Distribution

By deciding to donate, you can provide one of the most important gifts of all: The Gift of Sight. You have the opportunity to donate corneas and other needed tissues for transplant and/or research. Your donation can help two people who suffer from corneal blindness, or help thousands through numerous research programs. These programs help in the development of cures for ocular blindness and disease, new technology, and medical devices in ophthalmology.
